A Los Angeles Personal Injury Lawyer Who Knows LA County

Los Angeles County has some of the busiest roads in the country, including the I-405, I-10, I-110, US-101, and I-5, along with dense pedestrian and cycling traffic, heavy truck traffic from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, and a large rideshare presence. These factors produce a steady stream of serious car, truck, and pedestrian cases.

Los Angeles is also home to major employers in entertainment, healthcare, logistics, hospitality, and technology. We represent employees in Los Angeles Superior Court, including the Stanley Mosk Courthouse and district courthouses across the county, and in the federal Central District of California.

How We Work

• Free consultation. Tell us what happened, and we will tell you honestly whether you have a case.
• Contingency fees. You pay no attorney’s fees unless we recover for you.
• Trial-ready from day one. Our attorneys previously represented Fortune 500 companies. We know how the other side values cases, and we prepare every case to win in front of a jury.
• Flexible consultations. We meet at our office, by phone, or by video, whichever is easiest for you.

Los Angeles Roads and Crash Patterns

Los Angeles has some of the most congested freeways in the country, including the I-405, I-5, I-10, I-110, I-710 and US-101, and a dense network of high-speed surface streets. Pedestrian and cyclist deaths remain a serious problem on wide arterial roads, and the ports, rail yards and warehouses keep heavy trucks moving through the region at all hours. Rideshare and delivery vehicles add to the traffic. See Los Angeles truck accidents, delivery truck accidents and Uber and Lyft accidents.

Los Angeles Courts

Los Angeles County Superior Court is one of the largest trial court systems in the country. Most unlimited civil cases are heard at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse downtown or in district courthouses such as Long Beach, Santa Monica, Torrance, Pasadena and Van Nuys, depending on where the case arose. Federal cases are heard in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California in downtown Los Angeles. Claims against public entities, such as LA Metro, the City of Los Angeles or the County, generally require a government claim within six months. See suing a government agency.
